When French musical Mozart-L’opera Rock toured nine Chinese cities in the last two years, it drew a big crowd of fans, including Chen Yike, a 28-year-old resident of Hangzhou.

“It was the first French musical that I had ever seen,” Chen said. She was so captivated by the show that she saw the production two more times.

Chen is one of many young Chinese who are increasingly fueling the country’s performing arts market. More and more young people are investing time and money in live performances, such as concerts and plays.

According to a report released by the Lighthouse Research Institute and ticketing firm Damai on March 25, young Chinese accounted for a record 55 percent of consumers of performing arts ticket sales in 2019 and 72 percent of concert attendees were people born after 1990.

Xiaomi, a 25-year-old girl from Chongqing became a loyal fan of singer Hua Chenyu after she saw his concert at the National Stadium in Beijing in 2018. Last year, she and three of her friends even traveled to Hainan province to see one of his concerts.

“It has now become a way of life for young people to spend money on performances by their idols,” Zhang Yiwu, a professor at Peking University, told China Daily.

Apart from young audiences, Chinese young performers are also doing increasingly well in the domestic (国内的) market and show a great potential for indigenous (本土的) culture to build a stronghold (大本营).

For example, the 19-year-old Chinese singer-actor Jackson Yee (易烊千玺) featured as a coach on the reality show Street Dance of China (《这！就是街舞》). With more than 80 million followers on his Sina Weibo platform, Yee’s participation helped attract audiences to an otherwise less known art.

On the iQiYi’s The Big Band, many young bands got the opportunity to show their music, and some have become quite popular. As a result, music that would have remained underground is now in the spotlight. “Many young bands on the The Big Band inspire me to learn more about their stories and indie (独立制作的) music,” Yang Zixu, a fan of The Big Band, wrote on the Chinese Q&A platform Zhihu.

Thanks to the joint effort of young audiences and performers, there’s “a driving force for Chinese cultural and creative industries” and it also “indicates China has entered a higher stage of development with better economic and social foundations,” according to China Daily.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

We've all heard it before： to be successful, get out of bed early. After all, Apple CEO Tim Cook gets up at 3： 45 am, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne at 3： 30 am and Richard Branson at 5： 45 am ﹣and, as we all know, "the early bird's catches the worm. "

But just because some successful people wake up early, does that mean it's a trait most of them share？ And if the idea of having exercised, planned your day, eaten breakfast, visualized and done one task before 8 am makes you want to roll over and hit snooze till next Saturday, are you really doomed to a less successful life？

For about half of us, this isn't really an issue. It's estimated that some 50% of the population isn't really morning or evening﹣oriented, but somewhere in the middle. Roughly one in four of us, though, tend more toward bright﹣eyed early risers, and another one in four are night owls. For them, the effects can go beyond falling asleep in front of the TV at 10 pm or being regularly late for work.

Numerous studies have found that morning people are more self﹣directed and agreeable. And compared to night owls, they plan for the future more and have a better sense of well﹣being.

Although morning types may achieve more academically, night owls tend to perform better on measures of memory, processing speed and cognitive （认知） ability, even when they have to perform those tasks in the morning. Night﹣time people are also more open and more creative. And one study shows that night owls are as healthy and wise as morning types ﹣and a little bit wealthier.

Still think the morning people sound more like CEO material？ Don't set your alarm for 5 am Just yet. As it turns out, overhauling （全面改革） your sleep time may not have much effect

"If people are left to their naturally preferred time, they feel much better. They say that they are much more productive. The mental capacity they have is much broader, " says Oxford University biologist Katharina Wulff. On the other hand, she says, pushing people too far out of their natural preference can be harmful. When they wake early, for example, night owls are still producing melatonin （褪黑素）. "Then you disrupt it and push the body to be in the daytime mode. That can have lots of negative physiological consequence. " Wulff says, like a different sensitivity to insulin and glucose （葡萄糖） which can cause weight gain.

1.What does the author do in the first three paragraph？

A.raising the problem→analyzing the problem → solving the problem

B.leading in the topic→challenging a viewpoint → discussing about the topic

C.presenting a viewpoint → providing supporting proofs→making a conclusion

D.introducing a viewpoint →raising the question→presenting author's viewpoint

2.What can we know from the 4th and 5th paragraph？

A.Morning types tend to have clear goals and better mood.

B.To beat night﹣time people ask them to do math calculation in the morning.

C.Night owls tend to sacrifice their health for their wealth.

D.Neither night owls nor morning persons perform better than the middle ones.

3.Which of the following does Katharina Wulff support？

A.Don't fall sleep in front of the TV.

B.Avoid being regularly late for work.

C.Stop setting your alarm for 5 am.

D.Better not overhaul your sleep time.

4.Why does the author write this article？

A.To explain why some people are more successful.

B.To compare the differences between early risers and night owls.

C.To advise people to get up neither too early nor too late.

D.To argue against this view that the Carly bird catches the worm.
